Last night was the first night of CMJ, and the party was poppin' in Billyburg. As soon as you got out of the L at Bedford, there was nothing but crowds of young folk checking out all the great music coming from the bars, and to boot it was an amazin' night to be out. My destination for the night was Spike Hill, the band, Gigantic Hand . Gigantic Hand is an indie rock band from NY on the Triple Down Label. Gigantic Hand began in 2003 as an acoustic reserve sowed by Kris [...]
So, I was able to catch Browns' show at the narrow slice of venue that is Bruar Falls . A part of Northside Fest , the show was at 3pm on a Sunday. It was not crowded. The Coney Island was delicious. There was a projection of Flash Gordon playing behind the band (which you cannot make out in my shitty photo below). The music was loud, but not too loud.

Gigantic Hand - "SuAnne Big Crow" .

You feel like that; hollow. You go down to the subway and stand on the platform feeling grey and paper-thin. The ventilation shushes.
